It seems that you are already on the hardware limit of the harddrive. The overhead of encrypting your filesystem is very tiny. I may be wrong, though. ;-)
on my machine / is dm-crypted and the result is usable, but not real great. hardware might be able to encrypt/decrypt a lot. but I guess the whole dm-crypt layer adds to lagging and thus makes the system sluggish. is any reordering of read/write requests or anything like that happening with dm-crypt? note: my swap is also on a dm-crypt partition, adding to the trouble.
